In Celebration Of The "In Between"

In Celebration Of The "In Between"
© Lee Wise All rights reserved

Somewhere in between God's work in the past and the
future...

I find myself.

And looking at me through the eyes of God, *I see my
importance.*

I may not relate to being...

A force for God,
A little light in big, dark place,
Part of the God squad,
An "old but-just-as-good-as-new Jesus Freak,"

Or any other description from an area I simply don't
identify with.

But...

I do know this: I am an important "I am" in my world.

Yes, through tears of joy and pain I faintly see the glories
of time with Jesus *forever.*

And for those years I long.

However, while viewing myself in the mirror of this very
moment I affirm my value "in the world of now."

I affirm the worth of my place in the "in between."

Here -- squarely in the middle of everything and everyone I
hold dear -- I decide to live with one foot on the other
side as I give whatever I can to make the reality of God's
presence and grace known here and now -- *because of me.*

I rejoice in understanding the high privilege of sharing and
reflecting the glory of God in a world amuck with the
ravages of misguided wisdom, misplaced values, and elevating
the profane over and above all God would call pure.

Bowing before the Lord, I praise him for the value He places
on all of our "in betweens."

Mine.
Yours.
And all the in betweens of those we influence for eternity.

"Thank you, Jesus.
for the value and importance of today.
Help me to live up to my full potential
as one of your followers."
